Fair point and I'm not against free public education, but $15k is also a magical fantasy number to get too if you include housing/food/utilities.

To be fair, it's not like you don't have housing/food/utility costs if you choose to not go to college.

Apparently the average community college costs about $10k to graduate from, less if you're on a 2 year degree.

Cue "that's not real college" crowd, of course.
